THE LESSON TAUGHT. From the Toller, Nashville, Term. The reports from the Bricerille mining districts, while they startle the more con servative and easy going element of our state, were not altogether unexpected by those who were in close touch with tie situation. The miners rested their cause first in the hands of the legislative body of our great state; it proved unworthy of the trust. They next sought the courts where they met a construction of our iniquitous system wholly unfriendly to them. Their next resort was an organ ized mob; the result is, 805 convict felons turned loose to prey upon society. Why should the state of Tennessee nurse a system which compels 3,990 peaceful in habitants to make felons of themselves that they may protect their homes and firesides? . When it became apparent that the peace and welfare of the state was en dangered Governor Buchanan called the Legislature together, and in as able a message as ever emanated from the state department of Tennessee ur...

A FABXKS DESIEES A W02D WITH SENATOR KELLY. To tho Editor of Thb advocate. It would be assumption bordering on foolhardinesa for a common farmer like myself to enter into an argument upon any subject with a recognized scholar, gifted orator and sharp lawyer like the Hon. H. B. Kelly, but his letter to the editor of The Advocate given to the public must be considered open to dis cussion, and as I am wishing more light on the subject, I hope my epistle and questions will not be considered inoppor tune or out of place. He begins his argument that money la substance, not shadow, nor promise, that gold and silver are, and always have been, since time out of mind, the only money of civilization. He does seem to ignore the fact that we to-day recognize four kinds of paper notes or certificates as money, and fails to show why a certificate, based upon gold, or silver, or bonds, should have any more substance, or should be less of a promise than notes based upon the very essentials of life, ...

COMPAEBONS BETWEEN TH UNITES STATES . AND GREAT BRITAIN. To the Editor of Thk Advocats. - I thank you for the insertion of my letter of remonstrance, but I had previ ously sent you an explanatory letter, cor recting the misleading statements you copied from an obscure London print That letter being suppressed was my grievance. I have this to remark, that a person who haa not resided In a country for some years is not in a position to speak authoritatively on the condition of that country even if he have all the availa ble statistics before him, because an ex pert is needed to understand those sta tistics and the conditions and customs of the country. You would be quick enough to see this were our positions re versed. Although I have resided in Kansas eight years, most certainly I would not have the presumption, even now, to set up my opinion of the state against that of an honest, capable and educated native. I will confess that I have learned much about Great Britain and England es...

TH3 ADVOOAma 5 famous victory," (?) purchased so dearly by carnal weapons, making ty visible demonstrations their politics in the language of the apostle, "worldly, sensual and devilish?" Pandering to the passions and preju dices of somewhat illy-informed and weak-minded men, are they not a set of modern Neroes, howling most stupidly, even over their own serious calamities, and fiddling with brutal, demoniacal glee, while the temple of liberty is in flames, a time-honored bequest that had descended to the American people from their fathers. But, really, after these antiquated, conventional braggarts have properly adjusted the figures obtained from the late election in Kansas, and, mathematically, placed them where they properly belong on the debt and credit side of their political ledger after all their unparallelled bargains and sales, what have they, in fact, got to show to a candid world as endur ing, substantial and most welcome re sults.

"Poster's vote Is just fifty-two more than the Alliance vote on state treasurer last year. Doster claims to have received COO Democratic votes.

The following facts taken from th daily press of October 23 and 24, speak volumes as to how the affairs of the country are conducted by the office hold ing politicians Instead of the people: The footsteps of the government official who hails from Ohio are turned toward his native state.

Cakes Without Eggs. Observing housekeepers quickly learn that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands in the fact that they never fail to make the finest pastry, and if they wish to be economical they can dispense entirely with eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening purposes. The advantage is not alone in the saving effected but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty of securing eggs that are fresh. This is often a serious trouble. Cakes of various kinds from the informal Griddle Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Price's Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand some cakes; or when used for Griddle Cakes to be eaten hot enables their production in the shortest space of time, always tender and delicious. Dr. Price's is the only Baking Powder that contains the white of eggs. None so pure ! None so wholesome ! 4 Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammon...

mrm ABVCOATB. 11 EXFUBXJCANS AND THE OLD SOLMBL Front the Ottawa Journal, Nor. 0, 1S91. Republicans claim to bo the sole frfenda of the old soldier. They talk about copperhead Democrats and rebel brigadiers, and wish it understood that a man or party who would support such personages in preference to a union sol dler, would be a very reprehensible man or party. Let's see. Who supported John Lamb for office? The Republicans, didn't they? What Is John LamVs his tory? Was he an old soldier? His friends say he was not His biography in the Kansas biographies makes no mention of any such thing as the war. People who claim to know all about him say that during the war he was what was then known as a copperhead a Demo crat who was opposed to carrying on the war. More than this, we are told on eood authority that two years ago Re publicans in this township who voted for him against Hanes, went to him after the election and asked him to do as scores of his neighbors had done and as all good c...

Benedict, of Wilson county; J. C. Mohler, of Salina; George T. Anthony, of Ottawa. In the list maybe found protectionists, free traders, silver men and gold bags.

'ADVOOATH& , THX OLD, OLD ST02Y. From the Southern Alliance Farmer. This to an off year in politics, and the elections held list Tuesday mean nothing whatever. It Is. not an unusual thing for the Democrats to elect their local ticket in a strong Republican state, but when the presidential contest rolls around to see their majorities swept from the (ace of the earth. For the past quarter of a century or more we have seen the Democrats splitting their throats with rejoicing over great off-year vic tories that they affirmed meant the election of their president and .then, when the time rolled around, to see his tory repeat Itself. It Is always a solid north and west against a solid south, and ever will be, and the north and west are Republicans and the south Democrats. In New York, the Tammany or the county Democracy, one or the other, al ways sells out, and thus the country Is subjected to four mora years of Repub lican misrule, oppression and robbery. This same ancient story was ...

;. . . A CONTRAST. From the New York World. ' The tenth census guve the country a body of statistics of the utmost value, because it was made with an honest pur pose to get and report facta. The statistics of the eleventh census have very little value, and In a large part are even worse than worthless, because they are false and misleading. The superintendent of the tenth census was chosen for his capacity and fitness, in order that the work placed in his hands might be well done. The superintendent of the eleventh census is a renegade Englishman, whose incapacity was well known when he was appointed. He was chosen because of his known propensity to juggle figures in the interest of monopolistic protection ism, his intense partisanship and his thick skinned indifference to public opinion. lie and his work are the legiti mate fruit of this administration's pur pose to retain power for itself at all haz ard. The third party cranks will have to leave Georgia if they want to start an ot...
